Customers often highlight the exceptional performance, 4K gaming capabilities, and impressive graphics of the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card. It is considered a powerful choice for handling the latest games and delivering high-resolution visuals. However, some users express concerns regarding its temperature management, with a few mentioning overheating issues under heavy loads.
If you're looking for the next generation of gaming graphics card, this is it. If you're playing at 1080p resolution or lower, on a single screen I would recommend the GTX 1070. But for 1440P up to 4K, this card handles games very well. It runs silent, it is power efficient, and we'll worth the price tag.

I bought the 1080 for the explicit purpose of creating a virtual reality ready machine. I have not yet bought a VR headset, but this GPU has allowed me to run everything with the highest visual settings without sacrificing performance. My only complaint is the single HDMI port. Most of the ports are Display Ports but with an HDMI/Display Port adapter (which was reasonably priced at Best Buy) all my monitors have worked well. There are other 1080s with moderately better performance, but this one is worth the money.

Running 2 cards in SLI mode for 3 Dell 27" 4K minitors and they run great. Only better option would be to buy the new 1080 Ti model (adds a little more memory & Cuda core performance notched up a bit). Anyone building a multiple GPU rig knows these are a no brainer. Hope this helps.
